C. Prepare for Camera installation

C1. Using the microSDXC Card

1. Verify that the operating temperature range is between

-40°C ~ 50°C (-40° ~ 122°F), 0-90% relative humidity (non­condensing).

2. Be sure to have the required accessories and tools available.
Refer to the User and Installation Guide.

3. Using the supplied Torx wrench, unscrew the four screws on
the dome cover and remove the cover.

The camera is shipped without a microSDXC card. The card
must be inserted in the camera in order to locally store a
snapshot or recording triggered by an event.

To install a microSDXC card

1. Format a microSDXC card (up to 128GB, Class 10) on your
PC.

2. Insert the card into the drive on the camera’s printed circuit
board.

3. Verify that the card status is displayed as mounted in the unit's
System > Events Handler > SD Card screen.

4. Configure the camera to store snapshots and recordings from
the System > Events Source screens.

C2. Changing the Lens Position from 180° to 360°

The camera is shipped with the lenses mounted for 180° viewing (Wall Mode). The lens
must be physically rotated for the camera to operate in 360° mode (Ceiling Mode).

The illustration below shows how to change the lens orientation

No change is required in the camera's user interface.

Lenses in180 mode

Lenses in 360 Mode

To rotate the lenses

1. Hold the two inner lenses together from the base and rotate
them clockwise. Be sure to leave the protective lens caps on
the lenses during this step.

2. Gently release the lenses until the spring is fully released.

3. Remove the lens caps. The camera reboots in Ceiling Mode

(360° operation).

D. Mount and Position the Camera

1. Place the supplied drill template over the installation surface.

2. Drill four holes into the surface.

3. Align the holes on the camera's base plate with the drilled
holes.

4. Screw the base into the installation surface.

5. When mounting the camera in 180° mode, note the position of
the Top Conduit to orientate the camera correctly.

10. Screw the lanyard from the dome cover
onto the lanyard post on the camera base.
See section D.

11. Align the IR contacts on the dome with the
IR contacts on the camera base. See
section D.

12. Replace the dome cover over the base and
screw it closed.

6. Unscrew the cover over the Top or Base cable conduits and
feed the system cables through it.

7. To maximize water protection when using conduit, use the
included rubber O-ring and add teflon tape to the threading.

8. Tighten the screws after all cables are inserted so that the
base plate is flush with the surface.

Note:

The cameras have a circuit protection mechanism that is activated if the cover is removed
while the IR LEDs are on. If the IR LEDs are not operating:

·

Re-attach the cover (making sure that the IR contacts are in place)

·

Make sure that the cover is closed properly

·

Power cycle the camera.
